Mysteriously changing report format -- Access mailing labels report

Question

Debugging an old Access 2000 database which someone recently added a labels report to. It prints 3 x 10 labels on a standard Avery 5160 layout. Runs flawlessly the first time it's opened, but any time after that goes to a 1 x 9 layout, even if I close and reopen the database. If I copy the original file again to my working directory, I get the same results. I am not opening the report in design mode.

I have run compact/repair, and even created a new database file and imported all objects, and still get this issue. Is this some strange but known Access bug?... or is the report object itself corrupted? What is the best way to resolve?

Answer 1

This could be a limitation of the installed default printer, I think. Try choosing a specific printer for the labels report.
